Chobe National Park is a wonderful experience. A boat cruise on the Chobe River has to be one of the wildlife highlights to be had in Africa. It has become rather busy in the last few years, however doing the boat cruise in the morning hours, still means a fairly exclusive experience. The elephants are magical and the birdlife a dream...
Chobe Park Botswana
I stayed at Chobe Game Lodge- Botswana in October 2010.
It was an amazing safari, the Hotel was very good, beautiful view and scenery on Zambezi River, from our luxury room was possible to observe herds of elephants . Food was good and the staff very kindly. Weather , sunny, 30°, good for morning safari, not so cold as Krueger Park.
Super wildlife, the park is full of elephants, we saw a lot of animals, only the rhino we didn’t see. Guides are women, the safari jeep is open and contains about 10 people.
River Safari on Zambezi River in the morning, gives you a fantastic view of the elephants herds drinking in the river , hippos and crocodiles.
I recommend a safari in Chobe Park-Botswana.

Wow. If you've ever seen the scene in the movie Jurassic Park where the family finally comes upon the vast plain with hundreds of dinosaurs of different species spanning across a vast plain - that's Chobe. The sheer volume and diversity of species is incredible, multiple antelope species, literally thousands of elephants, lions, leopards, dogs, etc. are easy finds. Herds of buffalo, zebra, and antelope; and large quantities of giraffe and baboon; and easy bird spotting all make Chobe a "destination." You will be spoiled after visiting Chobe. You should go here as your last safari destination. We stayed at Chobe Under Canvas, which is a truly tented camp. The entire camp relocates every 5 days. The advantage of "glamping" at CUC, though, is that at 6 am, when the park opens, you are already in the camp and are not being "picked up" at your out-of-the-park hotel/property. You get earliest spotting and best conditions with no other vehicles/tourists around.
Meeting the African wildlife
The wildlife was the best ever. We first went by boat and watched hippos and crocodiles and birds of all kinds. Great guides that spotted even the smallest animals in the national park and pointed them out for us eager photographers. The weather was great and we had a great dinner at the Chobe Safari Lodge. After that we entered the national park by truck and had a great guide there too. We met elephants, giraffes and lions and a whole variety of different animals.

Chobe is to touch Africa with all your senses and leave with a place in your heart forever.
The colors and smells of Chobe touched me..all your senses are heightened. The smell of the African Sage, the hippos in the water, the colorful birdlife, the crocodiles and the large herds of elephants playing at the rivers edge. The people are simple and friendly and the camping is a lifetime experience. Wake to a sunrise over the African bush and to the animals venturing out for the day. A monkey swings above you, a hippo serenades you, a warthog rustles through the brush...this is Africa!

Elephants, predators and a beautiful river
Great wildlife can be viewed at Chobe. The highlight is the hundreds of elephants who don the landscape in huge herds. Also lots of predators including crocodile, lions, and the elusive leopard! we even spotted one in a tree as our guide parked the vehicle right under the tree. It was the most surreal moment of the safari. Some hairs do stand up on the back of your neck. The lodges there are right in the middle of it all blending in very well.

Great experience in Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park
Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours was our go-to company for our two-day stay in Victoria Falls. We relied on them for airport-hotel transfers, the trip to Chobe National Park (safari and river cruise), and the helicopter flight over Victoria Falls. Everything was organized perfectly and on time. The guides who accompanied us were knowledgeable and professional, allowing us to see the wonders of this region in the limited time we had. Thanks again to Oscar and Silence for their availability and courtesy. We hope to see you again soon.
